One of my fairy-like friends

However, Yue Wuxia was still a little curious... After all, her relationship with Ming Yan had long since become improper, and now she had accepted his affections and agreed to be with him...

What does "talking back" mean?

Yue Wuxia still asked the question, and Mingyan quickly gave her the answer. After all, it was something that could be explained simply by straightening her back, and it wasn't complicated at all.

Sensing Mingyan's lewd actions, Yue Wuxia was about to reprimand him, but she suddenly paused, her face burning, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "You unfilial disciple, do you still consider me your master? How dare you say such things in front of me?! This is outrageous!"

Mingyan chuckled, completely unconcerned about his master's insults, which had no effect whatsoever. In fact, the rebellious disciple found them quite amusing after hearing them for a while.

Mingyan held Yue Wuxia in his arms, quietly enjoying the feeling of being in close embrace with his master. His master smelled wonderful, a scent that was refreshing and invigorating. His voluptuous body was so captivating that Mingyan couldn't bear to let go of it. It felt so comfortable. If he could hold his master day and night, Mingyan felt that he might even forget about cultivating immortality.

Seemingly sensing that Mingyan wouldn't do anything further, Yue Wuxia stopped struggling and let Mingyan hold her...

She sighed softly to herself. After Mingyan left, she had thought about her future with him...

Once she agrees, she won't go back on her word, even if she's bound to be looked down upon.

I wonder what Qingying will think after she finds out that she's with her junior brother... I've stopped her from going out with Mingyan time and time again, and she probably knows that I'm trying to stop her relationship with Mingyan. I wonder if she holds a grudge?

If it were before, when she and Mingyan hadn't crossed that line, it wouldn't have mattered, and Yue Wuxia would have felt no guilt. But now, she too had become entangled in an illicit affair with her traitorous disciple, and she felt guilty nonetheless...

From Qingying's perspective, she had tried to stop her from being with Mingyan, but then she herself became involved with Mingyan. This chaotic relationship would undoubtedly make Qingying believe that her previous attempts to stop her were for her own benefit, using her influence as the master to vie for favor...

The thought that Yue Qingying might think that way gave Yue Wuxia a headache.

Of course, this was just Yue Wuxia overthinking things. Yue Qingying was a very magnanimous person; she not only wouldn't mind, but she had even been planning to drag Yue Wuxia into this mess for a long time.

Aside from Yue Qingying, she also seems a bit... ridiculous to be competing with those younger generation for men. It's laughable, really. I wonder what Huang Feiyan, Ning Feixuan, and the others will think of her...

Fortunately, there was still Ning Mengru. Even if she received a lot of disdain, Ning Mengru wasn't much better off... She was even more shameless than her. To get to Ming Yan's side, she even deliberately disguised herself as someone else and offered herself up. At least she was pursued by this traitorous disciple...

Thinking of this, Yue Wuxia felt much more at ease...

"What is Master thinking about?" Mingyan asked with a smile.

"...It's nothing." Yue Wuxia was silent for a moment before saying, "How are you going to explain your relationship with me to your senior sister?"

What's there to explain? My senior sister is already prepared to lie on my bed with you, or help me in. Does this even need explaining? Mingyan was a little confused, but then he realized, Master has no idea what my senior sister is thinking...

Hmm, perhaps we can use Master's concern about Senior Sister to get him to be more honest...

Chapter 166 Wang Qingchu's Smile

Although Mingyan liked his master's contradictory nature—which was what made his master so endearing—he sometimes wished his master could be a little more straightforward...

Just like before, when I confessed to my master, but his response was not direct at all, sometimes it would be more interesting if my master could be more frank.

When will she hear her master say that she likes her?

Mingyan blinked, wondering if he should take advantage of his master's dazed state at a certain moment to subtly get her to say it.

This method worked for Mingyan time and time again because at that point in time, all the women around him were the same; they would listen to him without question. At that time, they had no time to think about anything and would only agree with his ideas.

Mingyan had used the same tactic he used when he first brought up Huang Junyi's matter with Huang Feiyan.

However, it's too early to say anything about this now.

Mingyan held Yue Wuxia in his arms, lying comfortably on the bed with his master.

Although I couldn't cultivate with my master to improve my strength during this period, which was a considerable delay, it was precisely because of this waiting that the fruits of my labor were all the sweeter.

And so, eight days passed.

During this period, Mingyan spent almost all his time with Yue Wuxia. Although the two did nothing, Mingyan did not even try to "show respect" to Yue Wuxia in any subtle way, maintaining great restraint.

But this also made Yue Wuxia realize that Ming Yan was actually enduring a lot, and her heart softened a little. No matter what, this rebellious disciple really cared about her.

In the remaining small portion of his time, Mingyan would spend time chatting with his sister.

As for Yu Mudan and Zhu Yuyan, they came to see Mingyan several times, but Mingyan only went once.

Eight days have passed, and today is the auspicious day they need.

The succession was a grand affair. After all, the Holy Yuan Dynasty was a celestial dynasty. Although no foreign guests were invited, the high-ranking officials of the country naturally had to attend.

As guests, they only needed to observe, but Mingyan's mind was not on this at all, nor did he pay attention to these things. He only remembered the scene of the old emperor personally placing the crown on Zhu Yuyan and announcing her coronation as empress.

Wearing the crown, Zhu Yuyan exuded even more nobility and heroism, and her delicate and beautiful face gained an added touch of determination.

From this day forward, she is the Empress...

In fact, it's rare for someone to ascend the throne so quickly. Although immortal dynasties, unlike holy lands and aristocratic families, don't wait until the heir reaches the Human Realm before passing on the throne, they usually wait until the Xuanji Realm before inheriting the imperial throne. For someone like her to ascend the throne at only the Divine Realm is extremely rare.

However, with the abdicated emperor, the current retired emperor, and Empress Dowager Yin assisting her, no one would question her authority.

Mingyan glanced at her a few more times and noticed that Zhu Yuyan often looked at him with a smile in her eyes, radiating goodwill. Although Mingyan found it a little strange, he still returned the smile.

Little did he know, this newly enthroned empress was already wondering whether Ming Yan would be willing to become her empress...

It is worth mentioning that although no foreign guests were invited, there were still some uninvited guests who observed the situation from a distance in the palace. To be precise, they were observing the situation of the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager Yin Hanyan.

The matter of passing the throne would naturally make people think that the retired emperor was failing, even though he had already failed once before, but seemed to have miraculously come back to life. However, if the retired emperor now showed signs of being sickly, some people would obviously not mind sending him off to his death.

Yue Wuxia did not conceal her aura; of course, she only displayed the strength of a Human-Welcoming Realm cultivator. Wang Qingchu did not unleash his imperial might, but it was an undeniable fact that Feng Lingyueying was deeply involved in the affairs of the Holy Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, the current Empress Dowager Yin Hanyan was no longer the half-step Human-Welcoming Realm cultivator she once was; she had officially entered the Human-Welcoming Realm...

Originally, Empress Yin planned to invite Ming Yan over, then demonstrate her strength to show him that the Holy Yuan Dynasty was now powerful enough to continue cooperating with him. However, Wang Qingchu's matter was clearly not part of her plan, disrupting some of her initial plans. The strength she was currently displaying was only enough to deter potential enemies. To achieve deeper cooperation with Ming Yan, she would have to find other methods...

After the enthronement ceremony, the uninvited guests naturally dispersed. It seems that the old emperor is in good health, and the Holy Yuan Dynasty has an extra person to greet him. Moreover, Yue Wuxia from Feng Ling Yue Ying has also arrived. Now, anyone who wants to make a move against the Holy Yuan Dynasty will have to think twice.

Feng Lingyueying has become quite high-profile lately. Before Mingyan joined, Feng Lingyueying was actually very low-key. Even Yue Qingying, as the Holy Maiden, rarely showed her face, and the other disciples were similar. However, after Mingyan's appearance, Feng Lingyueying seemed to have changed its style; it seems like her figure can be seen everywhere...

Many people now know that Feng Lingyueying has close ties with the Huang family and Yaochi, and it now seems that her relationship with the Shengyuan Dynasty is probably quite close as well...

Regardless of what outsiders think, Mingyan and his group will be leaving after the enthronement ceremony. Recording their appearances will be enough, so Mingyan naturally wants to say goodbye and return to Fenglingyueying.

Although he wasn't in a hurry... well, he was actually a little impatient, eager to savor the delicious treat he'd been waiting for so long...

Before leaving, the former crown prince, the old emperor, Yin Hanyan and the crown prince... the current emperor Zhu Yuyan and Yu Mudan all came to see them off.

Zhu Yuyan's eyes revealed reluctance, "Young Master Ming, after today's parting, I don't know when we will meet again... I hope you will accept this."

As she spoke, Zhu Yuyan handed Mingyan something. Mingyan was somewhat surprised, but he still reached out and took it, only to find that it was a small lock of black hair...

What does it mean that she gave me this?

Ming Yan was somewhat surprised, then looked at Zhu Yuyan, who had a smile in her eyes. "I hope Young Master Ming won't forget me..."

“Of course I haven’t forgotten, you are now the Empress,” Mingyan said with a smile.

“...If it were Young Master Ming, it would be good if he were a member of the Holy Yuan Dynasty…” Zhu Yuyan sighed softly, “In that case… I would be able to keep Young Master Ming by my side.”

Upon hearing Zhu Yuyan's words, Mingyan understood what she meant; she was expressing her love... But how did Zhu Yuyan fall for him?

I just don't know if this liking stems from caring about one's influence or from genuine liking oneself.

"It's time to go," Yue Wuxia transmitted her voice.

Mingyan stopped himself from saying anything, and just smiled, "We'll have a chance to meet again in the future... Yuyan."

Upon hearing Mingyan's address, Zhu Yuyan's eyes lit up, while Yu Mudan's eyes flickered, and Yin Hanyan seemed lost in thought.

Only Wang Qingchu wore a smile, because her Yan'er was becoming more and more like the man she had hoped for...

Chapter 168 Yue Wuxia's Mouth Is Still Stubborn

With her smooth hair draped over her skin, Yue Wuxia sat on the edge of the cold pool, her back to Ming Yan. Her dark hair covered most of her back, revealing only her smooth, fragrant shoulders. Her whole body exuded a faint, delicate fragrance.

Just looking at Yue Wuxia's back made Mingyan feel somewhat uncontrollable.

God knows how he suppressed his desire for his master for so long. Only now, when he is about to release it, does Mingyan realize how terrifying this desire he has been suppressing is.

Mingyan has excellent self-control. Once he sits down and makes a decision, he won't change his mind. He said that he had prepared some things for later and didn't intend to take his master here. So naturally, he wouldn't do anything extra when he was washing his master's body earlier.

Yue Wuxia slowly turned her head, her cold eyes revealing a color she had never seen before. "How long are you planning to keep this up?"

"I was just mesmerized by Master's back view," Mingyan explained with a smile. He then got up and stepped out of the icy pool. He first reached out and took Yue Wuxia's clothes. "Master, shall I help you get dressed?"

Yue Wuxia spat lightly, "You're not even dressed yet, and you're already dressing me like this?"

“Isn’t Master also naked?” Mingyan said with a smile. “Although I will have to take them off again soon, I don’t want anyone to see Master’s body.”

Even if other women saw him, Mingyan wouldn't want to, unless it was someone close to him, like his senior sister Feiyan.

Yue Wuxia rolled her eyes at Ming Yan, but it wasn't very obvious. After all, her master was still that aloof beauty. Although she had become less distant than when they first met, and that aloofness had faded a lot, she was still very different from her sister and Aunt Ning.

If Master completely lost his aloof demeanor, wouldn't that be a bit less interesting?

Mingyan helped Yue Wuxia put on the ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). His master's figure was truly excellent. Mingyan's gaze was burning throughout, but he restrained himself and did not make any improper moves. This surprised Yue Wuxia a little. She had already presented herself to this traitorous disciple in this way, and she thought that he would take advantage of her. But she did not expect that he would be so honest.

However, Yue Wuxia was still very clear that the honesty he was showing now was not because Ming Yan was honest in his own right. If he were really honest, how could they have gotten to where they are today?

The current level of honesty is simply a matter of adding the final seasoning after the meat is almost in your mouth...

After helping Yue Wuxia get dressed, Mingyan quickly dressed as well, and then went up the mountain with Yue Wuxia to return to the immortal island.

Now, with no one else to disturb them, Yue Qingying is in the Huang family, and Wang Qingchu is in Mingyan's Qi Sea. This immortal island is their own little world.

Back on the immortal island, Yue Wuxia turned to look at Ming Yan. Although her pretty face remained cool and aloof, her eyes were slightly evasive, clearly indicating that she was not at peace. "What do you mean by preparations?"

Mingyan smiled and took Yue Wuxia's hand, leading her to her room.

"Master, do you still remember when we got married in our dream?" Mingyan held Yue Wuxia's hand, feeling the warmth of his master's hand, and smiled.

Yue Wuxia paused for a moment, and after a brief thought, she asked, somewhat puzzled, "In a dream? Getting married?"

Mingyan couldn't help but find it amusing. "Master, we've already reached this point in our relationship, and you still won't admit it? You actually have memories from your dreams?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't have the same dream as you!" Yue Wuxia was still stubborn. Clearly, she was still unwilling to admit these things, as it would damage her dignity as a master.

Mingyan stared at Yue Wuxia for a while, then suddenly embraced her and kissed his master's lips.

Her lips were warm and soft, unlike the hardness that her master appeared to have. Or rather, no matter how hard her master's lips were, a kiss could soften them.

Yue Wuxia didn't struggle. If it were before, she might have struggled symbolically, but now that she had already admitted that this traitor had succeeded, why should she struggle anymore?

Mingyan kissed her for a while, but didn't go too far. Instead, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Master, I know you have memories of that time. There's nothing wrong with admitting it. You didn't wake up halfway through and know what you were doing before you married me."

Upon hearing this, Yue Wuxia remained silent for a while, then turned her head to the side, and finally admitted it. Ming Yan secretly chuckled to himself.
